How does using meth with other drugs complicate treatment and recovery?

Recovery is impossible if you continue to abuse drugs. There is no hope of recovering unless you stop abusing drugs altogether and detox off of them. When you mix different drugs together it is called polydrug. The mixing of different substances can include alcohol, prescription medications, and other illegal drugs. There are a lot of risks when it comes to combining drugs at the same time. There is a likelihood that something will go wrong or that someone will overdose. This is because it is often too much for the body to be able to handle. So why would you or anyone else mix drugs considering the dangers associated with it? There are a few reasons. Firstly, some people do it in order to enhance the effects of another drug. They want to feel more of one drug’s side effects so they complement it with another substance. Secondly, some people use it to reduce the negative side effects of a drug they are taking. This makes taking the drugs more doable. However, sometimes people mix drugs because they aren’t really thinking and just want to have fun. Unfortunately, this can have potentially fatal consequences.
